Terms of use
These terms are the rules for using Domain Finder (the “site”), run by Oyoxa. By using the site or creating an account you agree to them. How we handle personal data is explained in the privacy policy.
1. What the site does
Domain Finder helps you discover possible domain names. It checks names against public registry data, scores them for how they read and sound, and lets you browse, search, swipe, filter and shortlist them, and run a “hunt” to narrow down to one name for a project. Some features need a free account; some are reserved for paid “Plus” accounts if and when those are offered.
2. “Available” does not mean you can buy it
- A name marked available was unregistered at the time we last checked it. It may have been registered since. Names are re-checked from time to time; the time of the last check is the best guide, and you can re-check a name on demand within your daily allowance.
- Registry data can be wrong, out of date or temporarily unavailable, and some registries do not publish enough for a reliable answer. A name may also be unavailable to buy for reasons we cannot see (reserved, premium-priced or blocked by a registrar).
- The brand score and any AI ranking are opinions produced by software. They are not a prediction of commercial success.
- We do not check trademarks, company names or social-media handles, and nothing on the site is legal, financial or branding advice. You are responsible for deciding whether a name is safe for you to use.
3. Your account
Give accurate details, keep your password to yourself and tell us if you think someone else has used your account. You are responsible for what is done through it. You can stop using the site, or ask us to delete your account, at any time.
4. Fair use
The site has limits (for example on free-preview swipes, re-checks, searches, word seeding and AI searches) to keep it fast and affordable for everyone. Plans and limits are described on the site and may change. You must not:
- copy or harvest the name list, or use scripts, bots or other automated means to access the site, beyond what the site itself offers you;
- get round a limit — for example by making new accounts, clearing cookies or rotating addresses to reset a free allowance;
- use the seeding or re-check tools to put unreasonable load on us or on the registries and word services we rely on;
- attempt to break into, overload or disrupt the site, or use it to harm others.
If you do, we may restrict or close your access without notice.
5. What you give us
When you vote, like or pass on names, choose between names in a hunt, or enter topics, you let us use that to run and improve the service — including combining votes into community rankings. We do not claim ownership of your shortlists, which stay in your browser, or of the names you pick in a hunt.
6. Our content
The site, its software, its scoring and the compiled, checked list of names are ours. You may use the names you find to decide what to register, but you may not republish or resell the list or its scores.
7. Links and registrars
Links to registrars and other sites are for your convenience; we do not control them and are not responsible for what they say, charge or do. If we use affiliate links we will say so on the site, and we may then earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Whether we do or not never changes how names are listed or ranked.
7a. Preview pages
A preview page is a short “coming soon” page we host for a name you chose, with a waitlist form. It is not hosting for your real site, it ends after 60 days, and it is marked as a preview. You are responsible for what it says and for what you do with the email addresses people give it: use them only to tell people about the thing they signed up for, and delete them when asked. Do not use a preview page to impersonate a person or business, to mislead, to collect anything other than an email address, or for anything unlawful. We may remove any page, and anyone can report one from the page itself.
8. Paid plans
Paid plans are not on sale yet. When they are, the price, what is included and how to cancel will be shown clearly before you pay, and your statutory rights as a consumer will apply.
9. Availability of the site, and liability
We aim to keep the site running but it is provided “as is”, may be unavailable at times, and features may change or be withdrawn. Nothing in these terms limits your legal rights as a consumer, or our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not allow us to limit. Subject to that, we are not liable for losses that were not a foreseeable result of our breach, for loss of profit or business, or for the consequences of choosing, buying or using a domain name based on the site.
10. Changes and ending
We may update these terms; the date at the top shows when. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it. We may suspend or end access to the site or to an account for breach of these terms, and you may stop using it at any time.
11. Law and contact
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales can decide disputes (if you live elsewhere in the UK you may also use your local courts). Questions or complaints: privacy@oyoxa.com.
